Hiroshima, 6th August 1945

 Went for a morning drive around Shelter Island and came across a gaggle of news truck parked on the end by the Harbor Police hangout. I did not know what the gathering was for.

Apparently the locals were using the Yokohama Friendship Bell Building donated by our sister city as a stage to commemorate the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Good for them.

I look forward to seeing them all at the Pearl Harbor Memorial in December.  War is hell, that's why you should not start them.  You start a fight, we will finish it.  It's the American way.

Here's Toby Kieth explaining the concept....

This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way 

 Carry on.

 

UPDATE:  Happy Peace Through Victory Day!!
